  "account": "Ben Shelton's girlfriend, Trinity Rodman, made an extraordinary journey from her soccer game in Washington, D.C. to cheer on her boyfriend at the US Open final on September 13, 2026. The 24-year-old tennis player marveled at her girlfriend's ability to attend both events in the same afternoon. Shelton, 23, expressed his gratitude for his girlfriend's support, calling her efforts \"insane\" given the difficulty of the task. Rodman, 24, began her day in Washington, D.C., where she played the Washington Spirit against the Boston Legacy at 1 p.m. ET. One hour later, Shelton's match against Alexander Zverev, 29, started at Arthur Ashe Stadium, roughly 230 miles away. It is unclear how Rodman traveled to New York City, but she made it to Flushing Meadows to support her boyfriend during his four-set match. After Shelton's loss, he praised his girlfriend and thanked his team for their support throughout his career.",
